The Institute for Family Health

The Institute for Family Health's Kingston Family Health Center serves people of all ages. They provide outpatient mental health and substance abuse care out of their Kingston, New York location. You'll also find primary health and dental care in this office.

Outpatient Addiction Treatment in Kingston

Addiction treatment here includes a general outpatient program and medication assisted treatment. I like that their team encompasses a diverse range of specialties and interests. To me, it means you'll have an easier time finding approaches that appeal to you.

They also have overdose prevention including training classes, naloxone (Narcan) and fentanyl test strips.

This location accepts many private insurance plans, including Medicaid and Medicare. But if you're uninsured or low income, you're in luck: they also have a sliding fee scale.

Engaging With Children On Their Level

I always like it when a program can help children, and it's even better when they do so with proven methods like play therapy. Unlike traditional talk therapy where a client speaks directly about their problems with a provider, play therapy allows children to express themselves through play.

It's often more comfortable and easier for them to understand, and it's a safe way to explore traumas.

Care for All Genders and Sexualities

You're not likely to get much from therapy if you don't feel understood. The Kingston Family Health Center specializes in inclusive care (including gender affirming care) for LGBTQIA+ clients.

I think it's important to consider and be open to all parts of a client's background to deliver effective treatment. Everything about us can inform both our addictive behaviors and what treatment methods work best for us. So having a care provider who understands this can be a huge plus!
